Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Koch is a PhD student in Microbiology at Colorado State University with eight years of experience bridging ecological, evolutionary, and epidemiological approaches to infectious disease spillover. With an MPH from Yale, he has applied phylogenetics and modeling to arboviruses using mosquito surveillance data and contributed to SARS-CoV-2 quality control and real-time surveillance reporting for a partnership with the NBA. His work spans probabilistic models linking genetic distance to transmission, climatic drivers of encephalitis, and genomic epidemiology, blending field-informed questions with reproducible Rmarkdown/Rshiny workflows. Comfortable in both domestic and international research settings, he combines strong technical analysis with public-health program experience from the CDC to community youth programs, giving him a rare mix of quantitative rigor and applied public-health perspective.
